Pruneti Frantoio Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil — 500+ mg/kg Polyphenols, 500ml Dark Glass Bottle, Cold‑Pressed Tuscan EVOO

Harvested early in San Polo in Chianti and milled in the family‑run Pruneti frantoio, this organic extra virgin olive oil captures a vibrant, peppery character and exceptional antioxidant content from the 2025/2026 harvest. The dark glass bottle preserves freshness, and the 2026 NYIOOC Gold Award recognizes its quality. Use it to finish salads, elevate bread dipping, or bring bold flavor to hearty dishes.

What makes this Pruneti EVOO higher in polyphenols than standard olive oils?

The oil comes from early handpicked olives processed immediately in Pruneti’s mill, preserving phenolic compounds that provide both flavor and stability. Cold pressing at low temperatures keeps those antioxidants intact rather than degrading them during extraction.

• Over 500 mg/kg polyphenols measured in lab testing
• Early harvest timing for concentrated phenolic content
• Immediate cold extraction at the family frantoio to limit oxidation
• USDA Organic certification ensures no synthetic treatments

How does the flavor profile suit cooking and finishing?

Pruneti Frantoio delivers a robust green taste with distinct notes of artichoke, arugula, and green pepper, finishing with a balanced peppery bite and pleasant bitterness. Those bold flavors stand up to grilled vegetables and meats, yet also brighten cold preparations when used sparingly as a finishing oil.

• Robust green aroma and taste for hearty dishes
• Peppery finish ideal for finishing soups and salads
• Bright vegetable notes that complement legumes and ribollita
• Works as an all‑purpose oil for both cooking and drizzling

Is this olive oil suitable for high‑heat cooking?

Although prized for finishing, Pruneti’s Frantoio has a high smoke point (above 470°F) and low acidity (<0.2%), so it is suitable for many sautéing and pan‑searing applications. For best flavor retention, use for quick‑to‑medium heat cooking or add toward the end of longer preparations to preserve its aromatic character.

• High smoke point supports searing and sautéing
• Low acidity indicates careful handling and quality
• Cold‑pressed extraction reduces off‑flavors during heating
• Ideal for finishing after cooking to accentuate flavor

How is the oil packaged and stored to keep it fresh?

The oil is bottled in dark glass to shield it from light and shipped in a protective box with product and pairing details. Best‑before dates and harvest information are printed on the bottle so you can track freshness; Pruneti recommends storing the oil in a cool, dark place away from heat sources.

• Dark glass bottle reduces light exposure and flavor loss
• Box includes tasting and pairing suggestions for immediate use
• Harvest and best‑before dates printed for traceability
• Family mill production means single‑source provenance

Who is this oil for? Pruneti Frantoio is aimed at home cooks, chefs, and gift buyers who want a full‑bodied Tuscan extra virgin olive oil with measurable antioxidant strength. It suits anyone seeking a versatile oil that performs in both the kitchen and at the table—perfect as a gourmet host gift or an everyday luxury for those who appreciate bold, artisanal Italian flavors.
